What our help doesn't do
Our help makes your application stronger, but it doesn't guarantee approval. Every application is assessed against the scheme's requirements. See How is my application assessed?.
After your loan
Once you're funded, you get 12 months of free mentoring through the scheme. See What mentoring and support do I get after my loan?.
